This means that in NO way do I clear anyone to use any of the PHOTOS, ILLUSTRATIONS, PROPERTIES, VIDEO or AUDIO found on this site or to archive the material on this site on their own site or to perform any of my work. You can link to the JSDC network, sure, but you may NOT remove or copy my materials for usage anywhere else without written permission. This includes websites like YouTube and other video sites, Facebook, wallpaper sites, image-based sites. YOU MUST ASK FIRST IF YOU WANT TO USE OUR WORK. And remember that those sites are ad-driven so beyond general copyright, artistically I purposefully avoid many of them as they are counter to what we are doing here. We provide direct, ad-free links to most assets so you should have no problem linking us. Write to us if you do.

Regarding my writings in the Scrolls, etc. you may, of course, link to entries and quote/display small portions of the writing as long as it fits under the laws and precedent of fair usage. In such a case you MUST attribute my work to myself. Read up on the four factors of fair usage.

Anything that does not fall under the rules of fair usage is copyright infringement. You may NOT use my work for any purposes without written permission from myself. To reiterate this includes that you may not upload my work to third-party sites, whether it be YouTube.com or your own. NO.

Shorthand: If you want to use something on JSDC, then you must e-mail me to request my permission first. Feel free to link to pages and images on my site from your own site. JSDC has never gone down from a traffic overload and we provide free, ad-free, deep links to entries and other assets. If you have any additional questions about whether or not you can use my work/my team's work or how you can use it, then please e-mail me directly. Yes, for good reason artists do have intellectual property lawyers. But more importantly to you, I would hope: being editorially responsible is awesome, raises the bar on professional Internet writing and creation, and allows for independent artists to make a living.

Thank you (thank you!) for stopping by and respecting my artistic rights. Now we can be friends for life.
